AXIe Consortium

An open system modular instrumentation standard based on AdvancedTCA®, that delivers high performanceinstrumentation for aerospace defense, high energy physics, semiconductor test and other industries.

What advantages does it bring?

“Big brother to PXI.” Same PCIe fabric and programming, but with ...

Horizontal configurations for minimal rack space, vertical for large systems

Larger boards for highest rack and power densities per rack inch

High speed trigger, timing, and local bus

Semiconductor test extensions

ATCA compatibility

Optional LAN fabric

Integrates easily with PXI, LXI and IVI

What is ODI?

ODI is the abbreviation for Optical Data Interface, a new high-speed interface standard for advanced instrumentation and embedded systems. ODI breaks speed and distance barriers by relying on optical communication between devices, over a simple pluggable optical cable.

With speeds up to 80 GBytes/s, ODI is designed to address challenging applications in 5G communications, mil/aero systems, high-speed data acquisition, and communication research. Though managed by the AXIe Consortium, ODI is not specific to AXIe, and works equally well with any product format, whether AXIe, PXI, LXI, VPX, or a traditional bench instrument design. Standard ODI ports enable communication between instruments, processors, storage, and embedded devices.
